0:00:34 > 0:00:38Hello, I'm Andy and I work here at Pickles' Animal Park.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41It's my job to look after all the animals,

0:00:41 > 0:00:43including these marvellous macaws.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Hello, Patricia, how are you? - Hello. I'm very hungry!

0:00:47 > 0:00:51- Are you feeling peckish? - Peckish? I've been waiting ages.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54- Where's my nuts?- All right, here's a nut.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57- CHOMPING DROWNS SPEECH - Oh, nuts...

0:00:57 > 0:01:00I shouldn't speak with me mouth full...

0:01:00 > 0:01:04They're not the only animals that like eating nuts.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Let's go visit a few more. All right, Patricia.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09That's your lot. See ya.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12But... Hang on, is that it? Oh....

0:01:14 > 0:01:17- MONKEYS SCREECH - Come on, guys.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21These cheeky little monkeys are called rhesus macaques.

0:01:21 > 0:01:26Although they love eating roots and leaves, they also love nuts.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27- Don't you, guys?- Whoa!

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Oh, Frankie, I think it's raining nuts.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Don't be silly, you're on the floor. Hee-hee! Argh!

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Now, where am I? Oh, I want some more of... Oh!

0:01:38 > 0:01:42They can actually store a whole day's worth in their cheeks,

0:01:42 > 0:01:44which is really handy because in the wild,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47if they're searching for food in dangerous places,

0:01:47 > 0:01:51they don't have to hang around for long. Isn't that right, guys?

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa...

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Rotten! I'm still hungry.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59I don't care, you go back to work right now.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Shoo! Shoo!

0:02:01 > 0:02:05In that case, I think you've had enough nuts.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Oi, greedy! You've nicked all the nuts!- See you later, monkeys.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12- 'Come in, Andy. Over.' - There's Mr Pickles, the boss.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here. Over.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18'Andy, I was wondering if you could help.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20'I was just at the cockatoo enclosure

0:02:20 > 0:02:22'and saw that they need more nuts.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- 'Could you bring some over? Over.' - Yes.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29I'm just going to go on my tea break and I'll be right over. Over.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31'Thanks, Andy. Pickles out.'

0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Hello, Kip.- Oh! Hello, Andy.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- This looks interesting, what's this? - This is my new invention.

0:02:52 > 0:02:57- A perfectly portable plum picker! - Plum picker?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59If you squeeze the handle on the end...

0:02:59 > 0:03:04- Ow!- Ha! Hey presto, you can pick the plums off any tree in my garden.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Oh, ah! Oh...

0:03:07 > 0:03:10I guess I need to test it first, ha-ha-ha!

0:03:10 > 0:03:13So where have you been anyway?

0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Well, I've been feeding some of the animals nuts. Oh.- I love nuts too.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22- Oh, really? What type of nut do you like?- Ah, well, pine nuts.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26In fact, I've got some right here. Ha-ha, yep.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30There's nothing I like more than a delicious handful of pine nuts

0:03:30 > 0:03:33sprinkled over a fresh fish salad.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Ha-ha-ha. Would you like some?

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Er, no, thanks, Kip. But I know someone who would.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Who?- Lots of animals like pine nuts, Kip.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44In the mountains of North America,

0:03:44 > 0:03:49there's this bird called the Clark's Nutcracker that loves them so much

0:03:49 > 0:03:52that it buries thousands of them in autumn,

0:03:52 > 0:03:55just to ensure it has food for winter,

0:03:55 > 0:03:57when the nuts stop growing.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59KIP GASPS I'd like to see that!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01You know what this means.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04BOTH: Time to go on a wild adventure!

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- We'll see the Clark's Nutcracker burying nuts!- We can test out

0:04:08 > 0:04:12- my perfectly portable plum picker! - Well, come on! Let's go!

0:04:13 > 0:04:17- One, gadget pack. - Check.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Two, gizmo.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Check.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26- Three, my perfectly portable plum picker. Ha-ha-ha.- Check.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Just in case we need it. And, last but not least...

0:04:29 > 0:04:31the Kipmobile!

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Seat belts on.

0:04:35 > 0:04:36Hit it, Kip.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46KIPMOBILE WHIRS

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Liftoff!

0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Ha-ha-ha.- Woo-hoo-hoo! We're in space!

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Where to, Andy?

0:05:25 > 0:05:26North America, Kip.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29That's where the whitebark pine grows,

0:05:29 > 0:05:33and where we'll find the nutcracker! High in the mountains of Wyoming.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36In that case, Wyoming here we come.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Go cat nav, go!- Whoa!

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Wyyyyyyyyyyoooooomiiiiiing!

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Oh, wow! These mountains really are stunning, Andy.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55What are they called?

0:05:55 > 0:05:59They're called the beautiful Beartooth Mountains.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Did you just say bear...

0:06:02 > 0:06:03tooth?

0:06:03 > 0:06:07Don't worry, they're not called that because they're full of bears

0:06:07 > 0:06:09with scary teeth,

0:06:09 > 0:06:14but because some of them look like the teeth of grizzly bears.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Oh, phew!

0:06:18 > 0:06:20KIP SPLUTTERS

0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Uh-oh.- What's the matter?

0:06:23 > 0:06:27I think there might be something wrong with the engine.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Oh, dear. Well, I guess we'd better land then.- Good idea.

0:06:31 > 0:06:36- Oh, there's a good spot, just down there, by those deer.- Oh, OK.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Are you sure you don't want help with the engine?- No,

0:06:48 > 0:06:50that's all right, Andy.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54- You go look for the whitebark pines and I'll fix the engine.- OK, Kip.

0:06:54 > 0:06:59- If you're sure.- Oh, absolutely. Just be careful.- I will.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Well, I think I've found the whitebark pine,

0:07:08 > 0:07:13and those are the whitebark pine's purple cones.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Come on, let's take a closer look!

0:07:17 > 0:07:22Unfortunately I don't see any nutcrackers yet.

0:07:22 > 0:07:27But I do see something else! It's a pine squirrel.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29In fact, there are lots of them.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33They're trying to break the pine cones down from the trees.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Ha-ha, look at this little guy! He's got one in his mouth

0:07:37 > 0:07:40and he's running off with it. Hmm.

0:07:40 > 0:07:45I wonder where he's going. Come on, let's follow him.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Oh...

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Look! The squirrel is snacking on the pine nuts.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Can you see? It's burying a few too,

0:08:00 > 0:08:04saving some for winter, when there are no pine cones on the trees.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08It's like making a store cupboard of your favourite foods.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10- ANIMAL GRUNTS - What was that?!

0:08:13 > 0:08:14Look!

0:08:14 > 0:08:18It's a grizzly bear and her cubs, sniffing around on the ground

0:08:18 > 0:08:22looking for the pine nuts buried by this squirrel.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25They have an incredible sense of smell,

0:08:25 > 0:08:27so it's not going to take long.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31And the squirrel is not happy at all.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Oh, look at him stomping his feet!

0:08:33 > 0:08:37Saying that, I wouldn't be too happy either. Look!

0:08:37 > 0:08:42The greedy grizzly's gobbling his secret store of nuts!

0:08:42 > 0:08:46Oh, he's really not happy now!

0:08:46 > 0:08:51- BIRD SQUAWKS - Look! It's a Clark's Nutcracker!

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Exactly the animal

0:08:53 > 0:08:55I wanted to show you.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59I've got to get a closer look.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00Erm...

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Ah!

0:09:02 > 0:09:03Activate rocket pack!

0:09:05 > 0:09:07INSECTS BUZZ

0:09:07 > 0:09:09OK, here I go!

0:09:09 > 0:09:11ROCKET PACK WHOOSHES

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Right, now where has that nutcracker gone...?

0:09:18 > 0:09:19Erm...

0:09:19 > 0:09:21He was around here somewhere...

0:09:23 > 0:09:26A-ha! There he is!

0:09:26 > 0:09:30They're just like the rhesus monkeys back at the Animal Park.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34Clark's Nutcrackers have a special pocket in their mouth

0:09:34 > 0:09:36to store their nuts.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38The bird isn't EATING the pine nuts.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42It's storing them in a pocket underneath its tongue...

0:09:44 > 0:09:49..where it can hold up to 150 pine nuts at one time!

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Hover mode.

0:09:54 > 0:09:59Now, what I'd love to do is to look inside these pine cones.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02These leaves are also known as... Oh!

0:10:02 > 0:10:03As needles!

0:10:03 > 0:10:06And that's because they're quite sharp.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Hmm. How am I going to do this?

0:10:10 > 0:10:11I've got it!

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Kip's perfectly portable plum picker.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21This should do the trick, ha-ha! Right, now for a proper go.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Er, oh... That one.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Look! I got it. Can you see?

0:10:27 > 0:10:31If you look closely, you can see the pine nuts,

0:10:31 > 0:10:35just like the ones Kip likes to put on her salads. Brilliant!

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Oh, look! There goes the nutcracker, flying off

0:10:39 > 0:10:41to bury the pine nuts she put in her pocket.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44I'm going to do the same.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49ROCKET PACK WHOOSHES

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Er, grr...

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Open the packet...

0:10:53 > 0:10:56KIP COUGHS

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Hey, Kip!

0:11:05 > 0:11:09Hey, Andy. Are you there? Is everything all right?

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Yes, everything is great, Kip.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15I've just followed the nutcracker for miles and miles.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19And look, here she is. She's been carrying pine nuts in her throat

0:11:19 > 0:11:24and she's burying the nuts so she can eat them in wintertime.

0:11:24 > 0:11:29So she remembers where they are, she covers the spot with a stone.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33In just one autumn, a bird can bury thousands and thousands

0:11:33 > 0:11:38and thousands of nuts, and still remember where most of them are.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40And the nuts they don't remember?

0:11:40 > 0:11:43They might grow into whitebark pines.

0:11:44 > 0:11:49So, whitebark pine trees need nutcrackers to spread their seeds.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Oh, off she goes! Off to go and get some more pine nuts.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56What an amazing memory!

0:11:58 > 0:11:59Right, time for me to go.

0:12:03 > 0:12:08Hmm. Well, that nutcracker has a much better memory than I have.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11I can't remember where I flew in from.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13I think it's time to call Kip.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14Kip?

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Kip, are you there?

0:12:17 > 0:12:18Kip?!

0:12:18 > 0:12:21It's all right, Andy. I'm coming!

0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Nice one, Kip.- Andy, upload!

0:12:27 > 0:12:30See you later, nutcracker! Wherever you are.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Whoa, oh.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Ah, thanks, Kip. I thought I'd be lost forever then.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Oh, not with me around, Andy.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43By the way, your perfectly portable plum picker was perfect

0:12:43 > 0:12:45for picking pine cones.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Oh, great. Ha!

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Well, in that case, let's head home. Ha-ha!

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Right...

0:13:16 > 0:13:20'Come in, Andy. Andy, are you receiving? Over.'

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Uh-oh, it's Mr Pickles!

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Hello, Mr Pickles.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Andy here, receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:13:27 > 0:13:32'Where have you been? I've been trying to get hold of you. Over.'

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well, you see, sir...

0:13:34 > 0:13:40- I've been collecting pine nuts for the cockatoos. Over.- Ha-ha.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44- 'Oh, that's smashing. Pickles out.' - Ah. See you soon!
